Directions
Cook bacon in a large sauce pan or Dutch oven over Med-high heat until crisp. (Using turkey bacon I add a ½ tsp of olive oil in this.)

Once bacon is crisp, add the remaining olive oil and onions, garlic and mushrooms and cook until softened. (Appx. 3 minutes)

Add chicken broth, water, beans, and kale along with a little salt and pepper. ( I use a lot of pepper!)

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to simmer for 30 minutes.

It's quick, it's easy, and it’s even better the second day! I make it a day in advance and use it for my lunches!

Serve with a slice of toasted crusty bread!
